radiant, strong, and stretchy
Shiva Rea's lovely release, "Radiant Heart Yoga," is a seemingly easy practice that stealthily works deep into the muscles. Although I did not feel overly challenged as I performed this flow, the next day I could really feel it in my upper body. The program begins with a prayer wheel sequence, which I had never done before, but found to be very calming. Then the bulk of the practice is a heart salutation series that opens not only the heart center but the legs as well, with deep stretches and bends for most areas of the body.
The last three minutes, which in my opinion are the most fun, involve a moving, energetically flowing meditation that I found extremely effective in releasing tension and blocks in the body.
I will probably add this to my collection, especially as it is one of Shiva Rea's shorter releases (35 min), which makes it much easier to fit into a busy morning.
